Illustration of two antibiotic resistant bacteria exchanging genetic material, a process known as conjugation. Antibiotic resistance can spread through bacterial populations via the direct transfer of short sections of genetic material called plasmids. As well as spreading antibiotic resistance, the genetic transfer can alter the appearance of the bacteria thus enabling them to evading the host's immune system. | |
